Peter Magyar, the opposition candidate to Prime Minister Viktor Orban, aims to maintain Hungary's ties with the EU and NATO if elected.
Magyar, leader of the centre-right Tisza Party, has gained popularity, challenging Orban's long-standing power.
He criticized Orban's ties to Russia and emphasized the need for a pragmatic approach while advocating for economic reforms.
Magyar expressed intentions to unlock billions in frozen EU funds and combat corruption to boost the economy.
Looking toward foreign relations, he plans a balanced approach, negotiating with both Russia and China while prioritizing Hungary's economic sovereignty.
